The investigators will use colchicine as a tool to elucidate the role of neutrophil activation during acute vascular injury, and to explore the association between neutrophil activation and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Colchicine reduces cell surface expression of selections, adhesion molecules key to neutrophil recruitment after vascular injury. Daily colchicine use is associated with reduced adverse cardiovascular events in stable atherosclerosis. Using a clinical percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) model, the investigators evaluate whether pre-procedural colchicine (1.8 mg oral load over one hour) reduces the rate of post-PCI adverse cardiovascular outcomes in the context of a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized study. The investigators will also characterize neutrophil biology in acute vascular injury and the effects of colchicine on neutrophil biology in this setting.
